Effective Fleet Management Strategy for Floating Assets-An Operator's Perspective

摘要

This paper provides a broad overview of a general framework adopted by ExxonMobil Production Company (EMPC) to promote and achieve performance excellence in asset integrity management across our global network of production operations. The paper highlights how EMPC uses a structured risk based philosophy and enabling processes for planning, execution, and tools that are essential to its integrity management framework. EMPC's portfolio of very large and complex deepwater fields is rapidly growing. Many of our new production assets operate in less developed areas of the world. While these operating conditions may be different, a producer's view of asset performance in terms of production reliability and integrity remain unchanged. The growing scope of integrity management leads to strategies to manage risks on a consistent basis across the portfolio. Achieving an effective risk based strategy requires a disciplined approach. The goals of this paper are to (1) raise industry awareness of effective fleet management strategies in challenging environments, (2) help Class Societies take a more effective approach in incorporating RBI plans in their recommended practices, and (3) facilitate an exchange of ideas in this rapidly developing field.
